I have lived in CR for 10 year (Scottish) and this is the most honest and fair channel about CR living form an ex pat I have come across. You earned a subscriber here.

Well done! As an introvert I wouldn't even be able to pull off the YT videos. I really enjoyed the video and learned a great deal. I will always respond to an answer from a YT channel instead of a thumbs up... I always thought it would be more of an annoyance to them. The rest of the advice was absolutely wonderful.

I'm a single woman considering a permanent move to Costa Rica. I just found your YouTube channel, and I resonated with your personality. Thank you for doing the Videos.

There is nothing better than an honest, down to earth perspective. Thanks!

I agree with so many of these things. There are plenty of people here who will see what they can extract from you whether it be your money or your time. Definitely choose your friends wisely. I learned the hard way a few times.

Hello,
First time watcher, and so grateful for the synchronicity of finding you.
I’m just back from Costa Rica and creating a two year plan to relocate.
I wanted to look at both sides, not just the beach and sunsets, but to get a reality check without putting myself off of being brave to relocate at 57 years young.
This was the perfect video as all the other writers have pointed out. I love and live your life lessons, which I too have learned as many people have taken my kindness for weakness. I appreciate your humility, I resonate with where you are now. Thank you so much for sharing your experience honestly, your words reflect the man you are. 😊 you have another subscriber and look forward to coming out next year Mar 2025 to spend time in your company to learn more. Stay blessed, you are truly appreciated 🙏🏽💜
